bahaar aai zamana hua KHarabaati

ye hasin fitrat ke husn ka anila-pan

apni ujDi hui duniya ki kahani hun main

suna ke apne aish-e-tam ki rudad ke TukDe

lutf le le ke piye hain qadah-e-gham kya kya

aafaton mein ghir gaya hun zist se be-zar hun

din muradon ke aish ki raaten

taba ishrat-pasand rakhta hun

hayat insan ki sar ta pa zaban malum hoti hai

dil ke arman dil ko chhoD gae

tera aasman nawakon ka KHazina hayat-afrina hayat-afrina

har waqt nauha-KHwan si rahti hain meri aankhen

koi maal-e-mohabbat mujhe batao nahin

sada kuchh aisi mere gosh-e-dil mein aati hai

gham-e-hayat kahani hai qissa-KHwan hun main
